This classically styled medieval gothic arming sword is built for hard-hitting sport and stage combat and its blade is well tempered to a 50 HRc for a fine balance between durability, resilience and wear resistance. The edges of the 29″ blade are thick, blunted and rebated to allow it to withstand repetitive blade on blade contact. The ones offered here at Kult of Athena come with the “Battle” version blade option which is a classic and thickly blunted sport and stage combat sword built for heavy and repetitive impacts and is an ideal blade for HMB sport fighting, as well as heavier armored combat and energetic and hard-hitting stage combat. To ensure the sword has an all around solid construction, the steel crossguard and pommel are welded directly to the tang to prevent shifting are are exceptionally solid. The grip is bound in spiraled supple black leather to complete it and give a comfortable handhold.
